It's time to start packing for Innovate! For me, that means it's time to start making my packing checklists so I don't forget anything. I leave at 4:30am and The Lad will probably have lacrosse practice the night before so I need to be organized or I'll be up all night throwing everything and anything into my suitcase. The Lad has tryouts for a summer tournament team while I'm away so if you see me on Sunday afternoon and I keep looking at my phone, I'm waiting for my husband to text me his results. But, back to Innovate. Have you checked out the SmartSite and built your agenda yet? You'll get far more out of the conference if you plan ahead. Attending with colleagues, build agendas that complement each other so you can divide and conquer. See you in the Expo Hall!
